How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost in Fron-dêg?

There's no single price for orthodontics in Fron-dêg — the range is genuinely wide. Case complexity, appliance type and inclusions all move the total up or down. Below we break down NHS and private pricing and the finance options available locally.

What You're Actually Paying For

Treatment type sets the baseline: the appliance you choose, from budget metal to premium lingual, largely decides the starting price before anything else.

Case complexity moves the price within any treatment type. A mild spacing case needs fewer appointments and less clinical time than a complex overbite correction with extractions.

Number of arches should be clarified in every quote, since one-arch and two-arch treatment are priced very differently.

Retainers close out treatment but aren't always in the headline fee — ask whether they're included or charged on top.

Refinements (for aligner treatment) are the extra trays that finish the result. They should be included — ask explicitly before signing.
